Presentation
Some of the symptoms related to hypotension are: Dizziness Fatigue Presyncope Syncope Physcial Examination Bradycardia may be present. The rate is below 40 beats per minute. Tachypnea may be present. [wikidoc.org]
P Waves may be present or absent. If present, they do not have a set relation to the QRS complexes. If present, the P Waves may be positive (upright) or negative (inverted). [nurseslearning.com]
Clinical presentation: usually present signs of decreased cardiac output F. Treatment: 1. Aimed at treating the underlying problem 2. May need antiarrhythmics, pacemaker, review for cardiac drug toxicity XXX. Bundle Branch Block A. [andrews.edu]

PVCs that occur three (3) or more in a row (ventricular tachycardia), multifocal PVCs (different shapes), or PVCs that land on a previous T wave (R on T phenomenon) can be dangerous ion a patient with underlying heart disease. [inside.fammed.wisc.edu]
Occur in healthy hearts as well as those with heart disease I. Cause: 1. Anxiety, excessive caffeine or alcohol 2. Certain cardiac drugs 3. Hypoxia, acidosis, electrolyte imbalance 4. Congestive heart failure, MI, and other heart diseases 5. [andrews.edu]
These conditions include: • digoxin toxicity • hypokalemia • inferior or posterior wall MI • rheumatic heart disease • valvular heart disease. [studfiles.net]

Screaming
“They were yelling screaming having a blast. They broke out with 12 seconds left,” Greenlee says. “Abby Wambach and Sydney Laroux broke out with about a minute left,” he added, in reference to the U.S. [buzzfeednews.com]
Workup
Approach Considerations Most of the workup on an otherwise healthy patient can be completed in an outpatient setting. Documentation of the arrhythmia on a rhythm strip is essential to properly diagnose the rhythm and to help exclude other causes. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
If asymptomatic, no treatment is needed except observation. For those with symptoms, identify and treat the cause of the pause. Adminster oxygen. [learningcentral.health.unm.edu]
Treatment depends upon the underlying cause and the baseline dysrhythmias. Atropine or a pacemaker may be used to increase the ventricular rate. Instant Feedback: [rnceus.com]

Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis depend on the cause and cardiac status of the patient. This condition may be drug induced or it may be a result of cardiac disease. [equimedcorp.com]
Prognosis is usually extremely poor despite resuscitative efforts D. Criteria: 1. Rhythm: none 2. Heart rate: none 3. QRS: none 4. P wave: may be present or have none 5. PR interval: none 6. [andrews.edu]
Etiology

Consultations Symptomatic cases may benefit from a consultation with a cardiologist and/or an electrophysiologist to better define the etiology and approach to prevention. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Ventricular escape beats occur when the rate of electrical discharge reaching the ventricles (normally initiated by the heart's sinoatrial node, transmitted to the atrioventricular node, and then further transmitted to the ventricles) [wikidoc.org]
Prevention
Just after the next P wave, there is a ventricular escape beat which prevents that P wave from making a QRS. The eighth beat is a PVC. The eleventh is a conducted PAC. [ecgguru.com]
The ventricular escape beat follows a long pause in ventricular rhythm and acts to prevent cardiac arrest. [en.wikipedia.org]
